kl �� ITEM # 10.B.3. <br /> ity of I <br /> .ik River MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaer ity dministrator <br /> DATE: July 19, 1999 / + <br /> SUBJECT: Community Recreation Program <br /> a. Update on Activities <br /> Interim Community Recreation Director Michele Bergh will be in <br /> attendance to update the council on recent community recreation and <br /> city of Elk River recreation activities. One of our biggest summer city <br /> programs, the Safety Camp, was recently completed and a five minute <br /> video on this two day event is scheduled to be shown to the council. <br /> Michele also will provide the council with an update on Emporium <br /> • activities. <br /> Michele should be able to answer questions from the council about the <br /> current status of city programs and what is on the horizon. <br /> b. Discussion on Community Recreation Program Options <br /> Ever since Jeff Asfahl resigned as the Community Recreation Director <br /> in May, options for the future of the Community Recreation Program <br /> have been discussed and reviewed. Michele Bergh has been appointed <br /> Interim Community Recreation Director and is doing a very good job <br /> with these additional responsibilities. Accordingly, there is no great <br /> urgency for a decision to be made on Elk River's future role with this <br /> organization. <br /> Whenever a major personnel change occurs within a department it <br /> presents an opportunity for evaluation of the future direction of the <br /> program or department. Such an evaluation is currently taking place <br /> regarding the community recreation program and the city is <br /> considering withdrawing from the organization and providing its own <br /> municipal recreation programs. <br /> • <br /> f:\shrdoc\council\comrecud.doc <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
